I followed the recipe exactly, but my pudding didn't turn out right. It was too dry and crumbly.

This pudding is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I really enjoyed this pudding. The figs and dates add a nice sweetness that balances out the chocolate flavor.

This pudding is a great way to use up leftover figs and dates. I always have a few extra lying around, and this is a great way to use them up.

This pudding is a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The figs and dates add a natural sweetness, while the chocolate provides a rich, decadent flavor. The pudding is also very moist and has a lovely, tender crumb.
